Set the following two variables in ~mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py:
DEFAULT_HOST_NAME = 'lists.mydomain.com'
DEFAULT_URL = 'http://lists.mydomain.com/mailman/'
(in rare cases, you may also have to do the same in Defaults.py)

That file is a mailbox for the USER mailman. When you created that user,
that mailbox automatically gets created. You could just remove it if you want.
I wouldn't worry about it.
